Simple Weather Indicator launches its own repository

simple weather indicator

The little weather app simple weather indicator received an update this week. On the other hand, its developers have seized the opportunity and have launched its own repository from which we can install the updates as soon as they are prepared, something necessary if we want to have the latest version of any software sooner until the snap packages, which arrived with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus, become the most used system by developers.

One of the most important news that has arrived with Simple Weather Indicator 0.7 is the possibility to start with the system. Until now, to start this little applet We had to do it by hand from the terminal or using other non-intuitive methods, but now you can do it automatically or from your own application launcher available from the Ubuntu Dash or from the application panel of any other distribution.

What's new in Simple Weather Indicator 0.7

  • Launcher and app icon.
  • Possibility of starting with the system, which we will configure with a switch or toggle.
  • Small improvements in the preferences window

To add the new repository of this little applet, available from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 16.10, we will have to open a terminal and type the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kasra-mp/ubuntu-indicator-weather
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-weather

Another option to install the latest version of Simple Weather Indicator is downloading your .deb package, available from THIS LINK from GitHub and install it with your distribution's installer, which in most cases is as simple as double-clicking the downloaded file and then clicking "Install."

Simple Weather Indicator is a very simple applicationThis is something that is included in its name, which will go especially well now that the temperatures begin to drop. Have you already tried it? How about?
